Students & Suicide
It saddens me to know a young girl in Kingsport felt the need to take her own life this week. It really saddens me that just this semester alone, 2 freshmen in the Sullivan County School District left this would feeling unwanted. I know there were people out there who...
Hold the Ropes
William Carey was a shoemaker in England in the mid 1700’s. Even though he was not a missionary, his heart broke for missions and the dying people of the world. He kept a map of the world on the wall in front of his work bench that as he made and repaired shoes, he...
Getting Used to the Dark
And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps...
Hindering World Missions and Why God Allows It
“Because we wanted to come to you – I, Paul, again and again, but Satan hindered us.” 1 Thessalonians 2:18 In 2007, I was staying with a friend in Egypt at the Red Sea. My friend and I have traveled throughout the entire Middle East preaching the Gospel together. He...
Heart Faith vs Head Faith
Phillip was a brother who had gone down to Samaria and preached Jesus to that city. He was directed by an angel to go down from Samaria to a desert road in Gaza; while there he saw a Ethiopian eunuch sitting in his chariot reading the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit...
An Atlantic Sized Conversation
Ever sat beside someone on an airplane that loved to talk? That was the case today; except it wasn’t a quick connection flight, it was a 10 hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean. I’m not much of a talker on airplanes. I prefer to put on headphones and read or journal....
A Conversation with Death
Tonight, I am sitting in the critical care family waiting room praying for my dad. The doctors have told us that he may not survive the night. He is on a ventilator. We are praying. We know God is Sovereign. We know God is good. I have never been this close to death....
Don’t Ask God Why…
There are some people who have been hurt by God. When they pray, they feel slighted by the Almighty. They know God could have intervened. They have heard of God’s sovereignty, so if God is truly all powerful and if He is in fact all loving, then why did He not step in...
Faith vs Hope
Maybe you’ve heard people say, “I’m just a hoping and a praying”. Well, that may sound good but in reality, it’s not scriptural, Father God wants us “A knowing and a praying”. As believers we’re to know the truth and pray according to it, this is exactly what the...
Don’t Flinch
I was 8 years old the year Lou Holtz and the Fighting Irish beat Jimmy Johnson and the powerful Miami Hurricanes. You may not be a sports fan, but there is a great spiritual lesson to the game played in South Bend, Indiana on October 15, 1988. Whichever team won that...
Pay Attention to the Global Economy
This week I went to lunch with a friend who works in the financial industry. We began talking about what a lot of people have been talking to me about lately…the direction of the global economy and how it fits into Bible Prophecy. PCC is hosting a special two week...
I will never leave nor forsake you
Hebrews 13:5, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” My parents have a strong marriage today, but they didn’t when I was growing up. The last time they separated, I was a freshman in high school. My dad chose to transfer his employment to upstate New York and I...
